Haven`t time for poker!
Last 3 days played poker little, because have many partys in this summer time! I will not stick to bankroll managment! Need to earn some points, in this two days my goal is to earn 1000 points. I will play mostly 20+2 Turbo sng!
Good luck to all summer job players!

Hi! This is my first week short report. 1 an 2 days I playing only $2.2 turbo sng (10 seated). 3,4 and 5 days I mixed $5.5 and $10 sng. Now my bankroll $276 I earned 500 points and wait second week.

Christian Heich was short stacked and he had to do something quick to get his stack up against the average of a little bit over a million. He got a perfect spot with KQs, and he moved all-in, called by Theo Tran who had 99, and we had a race that could take out the last Team RedKings member in this years WSOP or give him a stack of 600.000.

The flop gave Heich a lot of outs with A1010, so every JQKA would ship the pot over to our favorite German, the turn was a brick, and now he needed that river card to help him, but it also falls down as a low card and Christian leaves the tournament in 166th position $36.626 richer!

We can now sum up this years WSOP, we have had a total of 6 cash positions, with Toni Ojala in the lead with 3 of them. Then spread out on Christian Heich, Ramzi Jelassi and Ivo “The Chessmaster” Donev.

Altogether it has been s good series for the team, and we will definitely be back again next year! But first we have a lot of other tournaments to look forward to, it is not long time until the APT Macau which you soon will get more info about here in the blog!

To end it we can brag with that Christian Heich is among the 166 best players in the world, amazing!

This is where you will find the blogs from our hard working trainees, who won a place through the promotion RedKings Summer Jobs.

Make a comment and wish them luck!

A party of poker, as Mike Sexton would have said. We are closing up to a new “November 9″ and we still have our Team RedKings player Christian Heich in the action. He is a bit short stacked, so my guess would be that the action today will come very early on.

185 players remains in the tournament, and here is the 7 people that will compete against Heich today:
Danny Smith - 214,000 (Blue 36)
Hieu Luu - 2,181,000
Theo Tran - 1,205,000
Viet Nguyen - 363,000
Craig Boyd - 1,545,000
Owen Crowe - 640,000
Dag Palovic - 1,896,000
Tim Kahlmeyer - 1,315,000
Cristian Heich - 381,000

That’s all for now, but as I said the action is expected already in the first level today, so please do me a favour and stay up!

I was so fortunate to win a summer job at Red Kings, from the 4 250 $ freerolls leaderboard, where it seems that I was the only player that hit the final table twice, and considering there were 800-900 players in each tournament I believe that is was a successful performance, but damn it’s a hard job, in the summerheat we have in Denmark at the moment.

I have to earn 500 points within a week, and have been staked 200 $ from Red Kings to work with. All that is brilliant, but considered I have a job, a wife that have just had a bag surgery and 3 kids to look after also, the time to reach the 500 points target is slim, but then again it’s free money so off course I’ll give it a try.

But I have a major problem. I’m a 98 % MTT player and suddenly I have to adjust my play to cash and SNG, because I have absolutely no chance in hell to reach the 500 point just my playing MTT’s, so I’m in serious problems at the moment.

So far I have been working myself against the target of 500 points, slowly but not rather safely. I have to multitable which haven’t been the issue either in my MTT’s games.
I started Friday evening, weren’t home Saturday and then again played Sunday evening, but that is also the big MTT day, so it had to be adjusted into the MTT I had to play also.

No doubt I have to speed up the game for the remaining 4 days, and where I until now have worked at NL20, and 5,50 $ SNG, I’m gonna have to take a step up the limits and go to NL50 and 11 $ SNG, Monday to see how many points I can get out of this.
So far I’m down 12,16 $, with a remaining 426 points, so maybe I’ll see you at the tables tonight CET.

Day 5 becomes another short day with only 3 levels played as they got down to 185 players in the end of level 20, and they decided to bag up the chips and return tomorrow.

Christian Heich started the day very good by winning a coin-flip with 44 vs A10, and boosted his stack up to over a million, but from there he never got the chance to get any higher. He said himself that his table was very tough and he couldn’t play the aggressive game he usually plays.

He continued losing chips in the end of day 5, and ended up with 381.000 and will go in as a short stack for day 5. We all will just hope for an early double up so he will be able to play his usual entertaining game.

He is now guaranteed $36.626, but he is not yet happy with that, and hopefully tomorrow will be a good day for Mr. Heich.

Good bye for now from Vegas, see you all later tonight at 21:00 CEST when day 6 arrives!

It hasn’t been that many hands to report about today, mostly been pots that hasn’t even gone to a flop. The playing that is going on out there is high quality of play, and usually you don’t see that many flops then.

When this action started Heich had about 980.000.

Middle position player makes it 32k, Heich calls on the button, BB re-raises to 117k. Both middle position and Heich calls.
Flop is Qh3d9c
BB checks, player in middle position moves all-in, Heich thinks a little and then folds, so does the BB player.

Next hand a middle position player makes it 36k, Heich in the cutoff calls, so does the SB and BB.
Flop 4sJd6d. It’s checked around and the turn is 8s. SB player bets out 100k, BB player and player in MP folds, Christian thinks for quite a while and asks “How much have you got?”, and then makes the call. River is 3c and both players check, his opponent shows 77 for a pair of 7s, and Heich mucks.

Little bad run going on for Heich, he now got 720.000. The average chip stack has grown up to 877k and we have 222 players left in this Main Event!

It is not only Christian in the field, we also have other big names still in there such as Peter Eastgate, Joe Hachem, Phil Ivey, Bertrand “ElKy” Grospellier and Chris Björin.

Christian Heich our lonely fighter in the WSOP 2009 Main Event is one of 250 other players going for the first price of $8.5 million.

Players has continued to drop like flies, and as it looks now we will stop the day when we are down to 175 players, which might just take about a level more.

Heich is not anymore over the million, but his stack is still over the average, the magic number is now 920.000.

Go Christian Heich!!

And that is the limit of 1.000.000 in chips, he just went up on 1.000.050 after stealing a big pot.

The Amazon room has really started to get empty of players but full of spectators or so called “railers”. We only have 339 players left after only 100 minutes of poker, this means that the players is dropping out very rapidly at the moment.
